Slovenia 2010 World Cup Team

Slovenia Football Team Profile & Form

Slovenia can be proud of its efforts in reaching the 2010 Football World Cup. The team secured a place in South Africa by finishing second in the challenging UEFA qualifying Group 3 before defeating Russia in a two-leg qualifying playoff.

While form in qualifying has been good, the Slovenian football team has struggled against other European opponents, losing to Croatia, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, England and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Given that recent form has been very promising, most punters are likely to adopt a wait-and-see approach to betting on this team at the Football World Cup.

Slovenia World Cup Betting Tip

Many bookmakers have Slovenia priced at around 200/1 to win the Football World Cup. Odds this high can only drop, so punters looking to win a small stake with trading can’t go too wrong in trading this team at a betting exchange.

Better returns can be secured in the Group Stages of the 2010 Football World Cup. The Slovenian defence has proven to be very stingy in recent games, which means fans are probably looking at low-scoring matches when the Slovenian football team comes up against stronger opposition.

This is also one of the few teams at the 2010 World Cup that appears genuinely capable of executing giant killings – so look out for under-valuation of this team in the match betting markets.
